I am thinking of buying an additional 6970 or settling with a 6950 2gb card if that will still be overkill enough for BF3.
My main concern is if I will have bottlenecking with my CPU when i get this additional card. (either another 6970 or a 6950)
Here is my system.
NZXT Phantom Case (new)
MSI 890GXM-G65 mobo 2xPCI-E 16x
XFX radeon 6970
Ripjaw ddr3 ram (4gb)
850w Corsair TX v2.2 Crossfire ready PSU (new)
AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE OC'd @ 3.8ghz stable on stock voltages with good temps.
h50 watercooler
I upgraded my PSU and case for the space. I have zero bottlenecking now and things seem fine. This CPU is very nice too. I am just worried about my CPU. Ive heard that it doesnt bottleneck until you upgrade up to and beyond gtx 580's. Gimme your input and what you think.
thanks.
